USO Canteen Freeper Style

War has come to our shores. It was committed on American soil.  We have been able to live in Freedom only because of those who have fought in the past wars giving life, limb and all the sacrifices for us to live in Freedom and go about our day without fear.

On September 11, 2001, that comfort, that feeling of living in a land that would not be attacked ended.

William T. Sherman said it succinctly, "War is hell."

The day has come for this Nation and its people to understand that there is a risk in losing its freedom, and in reality there always has been. We have ONLY stayed free because of the sacrifices of our military, our warriors.

This is about saving the future of America. Aristotle said, "We make war that we may live in peace."




We are seeing the American Flag flying at homes now more than ever in my lifetime. We are seeing the American Flag flying on vehicles and people wearing Flag pins and small Flags on their clothes. America is united in the cause for Freedom and for our country to WIN against the evil that came upon our land to kill and hurt us. To change our way of life and to destroy America which is US, you and me. To take away our precious Freedom.



This is the Freeper version of the USO Canteen. Where soldiers could come and feel a small part of being at home. It is a place where you that have family in the military can post a thought to a loved one that might be able to read it far away from home. A place where we that support our military can help support them, post to them, fun graphics showing the price in America and our troops. Poems, quotes, cartoons, or articles of how America is behind our troops.

Those in our military are our Nation's warriors. Let us join hands, fly our Flag and let the world know how important our warriors are to us....And that our MILITARY, our Warriors, are America's TRUE HEROS!


"No Marine was ever honored for what they received. Honor was the reward for what they gave." (Anonymous) CHIEF gave his all in many ways. He touched our lives and his friendship meant so much to all of us. He will live in our hearts forever, and his friendship will always be a bright and shining memory in our hearts and souls.

I have been wanting to dance with you all day. But I was afraid of steping on a Marine's toes. I got the perfect solution! If you dance with me to THIS, the notes will keep your feet 5 inches off the floor. . .

SAM, I have a request. I have the original sheet music to this song, but I've packed it away. I can't remember what it's called, but Bing Crosby sang it and it goes like this, "Would you like to swing on a star, carry moon beams home in a jar". I sang that song to my kids when they were babies and we were trying to learn it on the piano. LOL I bought the sheet music off eBay.

To any current military 'lurking' out there, know that you have our respect and profound gratitude for 'being there' for us and our wonderful country. We who have served identify with your 'different' life - the sacrifices you and your loved ones make on a daily basis - the uncertainties of never knowing where 'home' will be next - and the perils you might be facing.

Please accept our gratitude for handling so well the torch we have passed.
We hope you can feel our heartfelt prayers, asking God's guidance and protection for each of you, now and forever.

Thank you, Sassy. You're looking fabulous. I'm glad to see my money went to good use.

Ummm, I'm wondering if you wouldn't mind if I told the guy you're dancing with that he's got a phone call and we could sneak in a dance.

I sang it in German and English.But to get the job English and then I did one chorus in German. My Mom taught me a lot of German songs. My Dad taught me a few too. He was so cute when he sang them he always had a way of introducing them, heh heh....
